MEDITERRANEAN ROOTS This is roots music of a whole different sort. Hailing from Brooklyn, N.Y., Tipsy Oxcart cranks out hipster dance music like only a Brooklyn band could. Balkan music is the underpinning of their sound, which is rich with accordion grooves and high-wheeling clarinet. Get ready to sweat on the dance floor. Wild Eagle opens.

LOVE FOR MOUNTAINS AND SEA New Hampshire-born artist Robert Eric Moore (1927-2006) captured a "here and gone" moment expressed in his artwork. His wide array of watercolors primarily focused on landscapes and seascapes — subjects that enchanted him. His time spent with his grandparents in York Beach, Maine, sparked his interest in the vast sea, which was intensified with his Navy service in World War II. His early years spent hunting and fishing with his father and brother contributed to his fascination of the woodlands and fields. Fifteen of his paintings will be on view through Aug. 9, along with the work of gallery artists.
